Chapter 224

Another very important point is that the Gate of Nine Hells have a role that is not just about physical skills for Leon's current situation.

It's also like a "mythical item," greatly enhancing General Leon's laning strength in "marital life."

Moreover, this mythical equipment can stack up to nine passive layers, and now that only one layer has been stacked, it has already made the Dragon Queen say tremblingly, "I'll definitely do it next time."

Leon didn't even dare to imagine what the effect would be if the passive ability were fully stacked.

At least from this point of view, the master did not cheat him; on the contrary, he did his beloved disciple a great favor.

Knowing that his apprentice was in the enemy camp and probably wasn't having an easy time, he gave his apprentice a power boost, making Leon the top pick of the game again.

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful.

After opening the first gate, Leon immediately began to continue his research on the Gate of Nine Hells.

"Only the first door remains 'open' after it is opened; the remaining eight doors require the cultivator to open them manually during battle."

"Each time a door is opened, it represents a leap in power, but it also brings a greater physical burden to the cultivator."

"At the same time, with the help of these newly acquired powers, we can also use different martial arts techniques."

"For example, the move that matches the first one is called 'Body Tempering,' which is a passive move that eliminates all impurities from the cultivator's body, making the body as pure as a newborn baby."

Leon looked at the contents of the book and analyzed it slowly and deliberately.

"In other words, according to the concept in this book, as we get older, there will be more and more impurities in our bodies, so we need to open the first door to clear out these impurities."

"That means the younger the person, the easier it is for them to practice this physical skill. And Dragon Race cubs can learn magic as early as seven or eight years old... It really is a physical skill that is very suitable for Dragon Race."

"Daddy."

"Hmm... Hmm?! Hikaru, when did you get here?"

Leon was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice when Xiao Guang appeared beside him.

She sat there obediently, her little pink tail swaying behind her, and looked up at Leon with a serious expression.

Leon looked back at his daughter, whose delicate nose was still glistening with sweat and whose breathing was rapid and heavy.

Leon looked back at the back door of the Holy Temple.

Although the little guy can walk now, he can't go too far yet. The journey from the Holy Temple to the training ground is quite a long one for Xiao Guang right now.

"I just got here~ I saw Daddy talking to himself here, and he seemed very serious, so I didn't disturb Daddy."

So, baby, you heard what Daddy just said here, right?

Leon quickly reviewed in his mind what he had just been muttering, and figured that nothing should reveal his human identity.

Leon hugged Xiao Guang in his arms, "Why didn't you go play with Sister Muen?"

"Sister Muen is still sleeping."

Oh, it's seven in the morning, which is indeed Mu En's bedtime.

If Noa is home, Mu En will wake up very early, because she wants to make the most of her time to play games with her sister who has finally come home for the holidays.

This is what it means to be a sister-complex: you're willing to sacrifice your sleep just so you can play with your older sister.

However, because Xiao Guang is too young, there aren't many games they can play together, so for Mu En, sleeping is still more cost-effective.

"Daddy, what book were you reading just now?"

Xiao Guang leaned against his father's chest, his gaze falling on the book "The Gate of Nine Hells" that his father had placed beside his lap.

She stretched out her little hand, gesturing for her father to show her the book.

Leon handed over the book, then held the back of the book with his palm, while Xiao Guang diligently turned the pages with his two little hands.

"Xiaoguang, do you want Daddy to teach you to read?" It's about time, and it seems like it's time to teach my daughter to read.

"No need, Daddy, I can recognize most of the words on this."

Xiao Guang pointed to a line in the book and read it aloud, word by word, "'The seventh gate is called "Qi," and the corresponding martial arts move is " Twilight's Blessing." Did Xiao Guang read it correctly, Daddy?'

The pink-haired dragon girl raised her head, her face asking for praise.

Leon was surprised by his youngest daughter's literacy skills. He remembered that he and Losweiser had never taught her. When did she learn it?

The father pinched his daughter's cheek and praised her generously, "Yes, you read them all correctly. Xiao Guang is great!"

"Yay~" The pink-haired dragon girl happily wagged her tail.

"Who taught Xiaoguang to read? Was it Sister Muen?"

Xiao Guang blinked her beautiful big eyes and replied, "I guess so."

"Calculate?"

"Yes, when Sister Muen is doing her literacy exercises, Xiao Guang sometimes peeks at her, and while watching... he learned it."

Upon hearing this, even the well-informed General Leon couldn't help but gasp.

He and the Silver Dragon Queen had three daughters—X

The eldest daughter is a genius among geniuses, a genius among geniuses; she grasps any knowledge instantly, requiring no further explanation. Lin

The second daughter is even more gifted, her approach to learning is more relaxed and laid-back, but you can't call her lazy, because she learns everything she's supposed to before she starts slacking off; Seven

Compared to her eldest sister's diligence and studiousness and her second sister's balance of work and rest, the youngest daughter Aurorla, is somewhat of a heavyweight.

She pioneered a learning method that even her father hadn't anticipated: Five

Stealing their techniques!

No wonder he could talk at just over half a month old, but he refrained from uttering a sound for over two months just to watch his Dad Mom —a truly high-EQ and funny little guy.

Even their learning methods are different from ordinary people.

The rustling sound of pages turning interrupted Leon's thoughts.

He looked down and saw Xiao Guang quickly flipping through the ancient book, spending only about seven or eight seconds on each page.

At this reading speed... you probably won't be able to finish reading the contents at all, right?

However, even if a child can recognize the characters, they probably wouldn't understand their meaning.

Simply put, it's just for fun.

Leon did not say anything about it.

Let the child see things however they want, just spoil them.

"Daddy."

After flipping through the pages for a while, Xiao Guang suddenly spoke up.

"Um?"

"Here you go."

Xiao Guang closed the ancient book and placed it back in Leon's hands.

Leon smiled and patted her little head. "Is the content inside rather boring?"

Children generally like fables and the like.

When Mu En was a little over one year old, she would pester Leon to read her Little Dragon Enlightenment Stories to help her understand the world. How much more so for little Guang, who is just over four months old.

Surprisingly, Xiaoguang shook his head. "The content is quite interesting; it's a very magical martial art. However, for me right now, this kind of technique is meaningless, so I'm just getting a general understanding of it."

Xiao Guang nestled comfortably in his father's strong, warm embrace, gazing at the azure sky, and said softly,

"In my opinion, knowledge that is beyond one's own ability is not entirely unnecessary to learn. Rather, it is necessary to first understand it in a general and superficial way, which will facilitate future learning."

"This is a learning method that I came up with when I was bored. It may have many flaws, but I will improve it little by little through practice until it becomes the learning method that best suits me."

"Daddy, do you think Xiaoguang did the right thing?"

At an age when they'd be drenched in sweat after just a few steps, they could talk about studying with great expertise.

Even Noa initially learned by following Leon's ideas and guidance; many of her good habits were brought about by Leon.

But Xiao Guang, without any formal instruction, not only learned so many characters through "stealing" knowledge, but also had such a long-term vision, which could even be described as being proactive.

Baby, you don't look like you've only been born for four months at all!

You haven't completely forgotten what you did in your past life!

So you're here playing with your old man, reincarnated with your memories intact, right?

Leon pinched his little daughter's chubby cheeks. "Don't you think it's a bit too early for Xiao Guang to be thinking about these things?"

Xiao Guang shook his head. "What's early and what's late, Daddy?"

She raised her little hand towards the sky, spreading her short five fingers, and sunlight shone through her fingers onto her tender face.

Her pink eyes reflected a soft light, like sparkling gems.

"I don't have the same talent as Sister Noa and Sister Muen, and I don't think I'll be a very hardworking person in the future, but as long as I'm old enough to think, I will still take the initiative to think."

Listening to Xiao Guang's words, Leon vaguely realized that he could no longer talk to his little daughter as if she were a child.

She is not an ordinary Dragon girl.

The idea of reincarnating with memories is just a joke, but Hikaru's maturity level truly surpasses that of all his peers.

She may not be as talented as Noa, but she has her own advantages—proactive and independent thinking.

While amazed by his youngest daughter's abilities, Leon couldn't help but sigh, "This mixed-race Dragon girl is really strong; each has her own strengths."

How about... we talk to Losweiser sometime and try having two more?

Let's see if we can pull an even more awesome SSR.

Indeed, gacha pulls are an obsession ingrained in human nature.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, Leon looked at Xiao Guang.

"Don't rush to plan your future, Xiaoguang, you have plenty of time."

"Time... is not about how much I have, but how I use it."

Leon raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Although Xiao Guang is very capable, you definitely didn't come up with this yourself, did you?"

Xiao Guang looked up at his father with a cute smile, "I read it in a book, and I think this sentence is super cool!"

In the afternoon, Leon asked Mu En to take Xiao Guang to do his literacy practice.

Mu En was very excited, saying that she could finally experience what it was like to be a teacher and teach students.

But Leon thought to himself, given Xiao Guang's understanding of learning, it's hard to say who will teach whom.

However, he did not interfere too much with his two daughters at this stage. Before they could formally enter the ocean of knowledge, they had to find the right oars for themselves.

Respecting children's choices should begin from a young age, a principle Leon understands well.

After settling his daughters in, Leon intended to talk to Losweiser about the Gate of Nine Hells.

After all, this ancient book was written by Claudia Poseidon of the Sea Dragon race, and some of its contents should be understood more deeply by Losweiser, who is also a Dragon Race, than by Leon.

But Anna said His Your Majesty had gone out to inspect the border and would not return until evening.

Alright, alright, Dragon Queen, you don't even tell me when you go out anymore, I can't live like this anymore.

When you get back, I'll pick a fight with you, just you wait!

Leon grumbled inwardly for a moment, then went to the practice field.

Even without Losweiser, he could still learn everything inside the Gate of Nine Hells.

Sitting cross-legged on the grass of the practice field, the warm afternoon breeze brushed against Leon's black hair and rustled the pages of the ancient book in his hands.

When absorbing new knowledge, Leon can always immerse himself completely, which is the main reason why he learns everything so quickly.

Of course, when a person focuses all their attention on something, they will always ignore the passage of time.

Before we knew it, it was already dusk.

Leon then put down the ancient book in his hand, opened his arms, and sat on the ground, stretching lazily.

Looking up at the setting sun on the horizon, Leon squinted slightly. "It's almost evening. The Dragon Queen should be back by now."

As he muttered to himself, Leon got up to go back and take a look.

But the footsteps behind him made him sit back down.
